This is the top floor of a potentially failed aqueduct engineering project. The Builders of Tomeankles attempted to divert the brook in an effort to allow the Diggers to dig and clean up a moat in front of the outer wall. Unfortunately, while it diverts water beautifully, the aqueduct isn't able to move enough at once to block up the brook.

On the left, one level below, is an additional pumpline attempting to move more water around the area where the diggers will work, but even with the extra pumps, there is too much water.

On the left, is the additional pumpline attempting to move more water around the area where the diggers will work, since the original aqueduct, on the right, was unsuccessful. Even together, though, there is enough water to make working in the brook below too dangerous. The Builders have only been able to erect a single floodgate.

The floor of the Great Dome encloses a magma pool in which rests the Hammer of Tomeankles. The Hammer is made of platinum, gold, and olivine blocks, palm wood inlay and (in grey, and white) the original basalt rock engraved or smoothed. Above the Hammer, the Great Dome rises several floors.

First of the three meeting halls in Tomeankles, the Old Hall sits between the Great Dome, on the left, and the Volcano of Tomeankles on the right. Gold statues have been erected to honor our revered ancestors.

Visible here are the Catacombs of Tomeankles, featuring the Mausoleum of Countess Bannersearched in the middle. The Countess' Mausoleum contains engraved pillars, golden statues of her parents, and a golden sarcophagus.

Also visible are the lavaworks. Lava flows through grates above into the square room with the pillar in the center on the bottom right. It then flows to other chambers beneath the magma forges and smelters, and finally into the magma pool surrounding the Hammer of Tomeankles on the left.

Second of the public meeting areas is the Countess' Sculpture Garden. Countess Muthkat Bannersearched has a penchant for green glass items, an commissioned the majority of the statues in the garden through mandates.
